I got a 1997 Humvee. I t was one that the military was rotating off of the overseas bases and they gave them to different state agencies. I bought mine for $10,000 and it had less the 30,000 miles on it then!!!

That would be a ride that could take you nearly anywhere you wanted to go too ....

I almost bought one that had been rebuilt and modified for a Hollywood series project as a "police cruiser" with tons of lights and a killer sound system, but I would have had to ship it in from Nevada and deal with which of the lights could legally remain on the vehicle so I decided not to. I kick myself now, as it was a multi-fuel with a snorkel with an expanded battery capacity and all new rubber for $11,500.00. They sent me pictures of it in the desert at night with ALL of the lights on .... think about Close Encounters type space ship ...

the challenger is awesome looking cept the fog lights look kida small n silly on that big barren front clip.

I don't think they're fog lights. My '72 'Cuda had them and they were blinkers. The 'Cuda was the Plymouth version of the Dodge Challenger...at least from 1970 and up.

6.1 L hemi, 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, from what I've managed to find. Don't know if it's headed to production or not. I like the new Mustangs too. They're totally awesome. If I can find a good used GMC Syclone, I'll blow both both their doors off.

We considered getting a new GTO for the performance, but the styling of it is just...unfortunate. GM has been making a lot of missteps lately.

Couldn't agree more.

I don't know what led to the decision to drop the F-body. And what's more, with Ford selling retro-Mustangs seemingly fast as they can make them...where's the retro-Camaro? Didn't GM have any good corporate spies?

There <i>is</i> a concept Camaro, but it isn't near as "retro" as the new Mustangs or the Challenger. I don't know much about it but I do think it is UHH-gly.

I saw GM's concept Camaro. You're right...not very retro, and ugly to boot. Maybe ugly as a result of the designer's fear to go too retro and so coming up with a mongrel mix, or too many corporate hands in the design mix. I don't really know...but I do know it sucks. They better keep it as a concept only. There is a kid getting some attention for designing a much better version.
